| Issue Name | Inspection Software Notification for UCR Fees |
| Summary of Issue | The UCR Plan would like to place a UCR violation notice in the new Aspen replacement system that notifies officers during an inspection when a motor carrier is not in compliance with Unified Carrier Registration for the current year. |
| Justification or Need | Failure to register and pay for UCR is a company-level violation of federal regulation, 49 C.F.R. 392.2, and according to an FMCSA study, correlates to a higher incidence of motor carrier crashes. |
| Request for Action | See, "Summary of Issue", above. |
| Action Taken by Committee | The committee discussion centered around this mostly being a training issue. Also, there were no stats on how this contributed to the increase in crashes. FMCSA IT stated this was a doable request in the SafeSpect. This was implemented into SafeSpect. |
